Constant efforts to expel the progress of the controlling administration
DEAR EDITOR,
Unsurprisingly, the APNU + AFC and their affiliates would constantly seek to derail the progress of the PPP / C Government by pedaling obvious misinformation and lies. After all, it is their nature to do so. The recent narrative that they have aligned with the only intent to encourage public terrorism is that there is a kidnapping situation in Guyana. The mere fact that these individuals can spy such baseless claims without any repentance for such implications on the Guyanese population is precisely the reason why they are part of the opposition and not the government.
About a week ago we saw Gavin Matthews taking to social media claiming he had been kidnapped by PPP / C agents. This led to the entire APNU + AFC cabal and their affiliates creating nonsensical posts across social media so that ‘ w sequences to be “informed” of the situation. However, if there was any truth to this kidnapping allegation, why didn’t Gavin Matthews and his people name the so-called PPP / C agents? Why haven’t reports been made with the CID so that an investigation into the allegations can be launched? The reason for not doing so was because it could not have been done. Gavin Matthews and his affiliates only aim to discourage fear of the Guyanese population by giving out wrong information.
In fact, according to reports by Police Commissioner (ag) Nigel Hoppie, Guyana Police has recorded a 46.6 percent reduction in serious crime for the period January 01 to March 05, 2021. Evidence of this was plastered in the newspapers in early March after the Commissioner spoke at the opening ceremony of the Annual Police Officers Conference. For clarity especially for the likeness of Gavin Matthews and his associates, serious crimes include murder, armed robbery, robbery with violence, aggravated robbery, larceny by person, breaking and entering and larch, burglary, rape , and kidnapping.
It is clear that people like Gavin Matthews and more recently Chris Gopaul are totally focused on discrediting the administration for their commendable efforts. The latest propaganda organized by the APNU + AFC and spread by individuals like Chris Gopaul is that the so-called “kidnapping situation” in Guyana is becoming increasingly alarming. They have even managed to circulate voicemail through social media platforms in order to make their unfounded claims appear disgraceful to Guyanese. Such mindless acts must be mocked by every thinking citizen as they aim only to encourage unnecessary panic and fear.
If people are kidnapped as they claim, where is the evidence? Who are these individuals? Why wasn’t the police informed? Why have there been no media reports of such hijackings? This is simply because it’s all a lie. Guyana does not have an ongoing kidnapping situation.
I will conclude by urging all Guyanese to reject these efforts being made by APNU + AFC and their factions to incite fear in society even in the midst of the pandemic. The fact that they can peddle such inaccurate information and baseless claims reflects the type of people they are. The PPP / C Government shows determination in making Guyana everything it can be. Don’t let the APNU + AFC distort such truths with their lies.
Yours respectfully,
Erin Northe
